The Rider on the White Horse

¹¹ Then I saw heaven opened, and there before me was a white horse. The rider on the horse is called Faithful and True, and he is right when he judges and makes war. ¹² His eyes are like burning fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him, which no one but himself knows. ¹³ He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God. ¹⁴ The armies of heaven, dressed in fine linen, white and clean, were following him on white horses. ¹⁵ Out of the rider’s mouth comes a sharp sword that he will use to defeat the nations, and he will rule them with a rod of iron. He will crush out the wine in the winepress of the terrible anger of God the Almighty. ¹⁶ On his robe and on his upper leg was written this name: king of kings and lord of lords.
